1816 (The List of Pétion’s Alleged Accomplices): To support their claims of treason, the royalists published a list of individuals they identified as Pétion’s “agents and accomplices” in his dealings with France. These included names such as Meronet, Garbage, Tapiant, Liott, and Dauxion Lavaysse, who were described as active participants in a perpetual conspiracy. The narrative claims that Pétion’s recent speeches against the French were merely an “affectation” designed to regain popularity after his treason was discovered. The government warned that only a “blind man” would serve such a “monster” who was willing to sell the nation’s independence for personal security. This detailed naming of conspirators served as a warning to anyone within the kingdom who might consider supporting the Southern faction.
